Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1921.

Application filed January 27, 1819. Serial No. 273,217.

T' 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK WHEELER PLANE, acitizen of the United States, re-' siding at London, England, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Receptacles for Varnish, Paint,and the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to receptacles for carrying liquid coverings suchas varnish, dope, paint and the like liquids which quickly solidifyduring the process of their application, and thus form a film on thesurface of the liquid, such receptacles being of the known kindcomprising, in combination, a closed storage receptacle, and detachablebrush bath, the brush bath being auto1natically replenished with liquidon the birdfountain principle and having a flange facilitating theremoval of surplus liquid from the brush.

According to this invention, the closed storage receptacle has a slopingbottom to insure complete emptying of the liquid into the brush bath,and the storage receptacle has permanently attached to it a screwed capadapted to close the exit when the brush bath has been removed; the saidbrush bath being provided with internally depending drip flanges formedaround it.

A typical construction or" the combined storage receptacle and brushloath according to this invention is shown in the accompanying drawing,Figure 1 being a vertical section and Fig. 2 a plan on which the storagereceptacle is numbered 1, the stopper at top 2, the outlet at bottom 3,the brush bath i. A sloping bottom or diaphragm 5 is provided to insurethe entire contents 9 of the storage receptacle flowing into the brushbath 4: through the outlet 3. The brush bath is provided with dripflanges 6 which surround it and are inclined inward against which thebrush can be wiped to remove surplus liquid which by this constructionflows back into the brush bath 4. A screwed cap 7 permanently attachedto storage receptacle l by the chain 8 is provided to close the outlet 3should only a portion or" the stored liquid be used at one applicationwhen the brush hath can be detached and dipped in cleansing liquid toremove any film or solidified matter which may have formed on it.

The liquid in the brush bath 4 is auto matically replenished from thestorage receptacle l, as, when the level of the liquid in the brush bathis lowered to the level of the top of the aperture 3, sufficient air isadmitted to the storage receptacle to permit of a furtherflow of liquidinto the brush bath.

A handle 10 can be provided on top of the storage receptacle 1 forconvenience and portability.

1. A receptacle for varnish, paint, and the like, comprising a storagereceptacle having an exit and an inclined bottom leading to said exit, abrush bath detachably connected with said outlet and provided withinternal dr p flanges and a screw cap for closing said exit permanentlyattached to said receptacle.
